About me

Hi, I’m Rhys Stenhouse. I’m a graphic designer based in Falkirk, Scotland. I specialise in print design, logos and branding; and I love to work with startups, small businesses, charities and non-profits. I’m based in the town of Falkirk in Scotland, with experience delivering digital and print design projects of all shapes and sizes for clients in Falkirk, Stirling, Alloa and further afield. I’ve been living in Scotland since 2008, and grew up abroad in countries like Cyprus and Germany alongside other British Forces families. I studied HND Visual Communication at Forth Valley College from 2010–2012, where I gained a strong grounding in print and screen design. Since then, I've worked across the public, voluntary and private sectors in many roles on a variety of projects. A highlight of my career was working as the in-house marketing officer for the wellbeing support charity Wellbeing Scotland, managing the charity’s digital and print marketing strategy and designing all materials used across the brand, culminating in a leading role developing the charity’s new identity in 2016. Since 2018 I’ve been working on freelance projects between other roles, and set up my own business in early 2021. I specialise in creating eye-catching and engaging branding and printed materials that help my clients stand out from the competition. I'm an organised, flexible, creative and motivated professional worker, with experience delivering on complex projects and an eye for detail and precision. My design process is collaborative from the start, and I make sure my clients are involved in every step of the project. I work with you to understand the needs of your business and make sure the final design solution meets those requirements.
